Extraoral Examination
Laceration ; Abrasions ; Contusions on the head and neck can be noted visuallyAny asymmetries including deviation in mouth opening.
Intraoral Examination
Soft tissue ( tongue ; gingiva .. )Teeth ( displacement ; mobility ; tooth fracture ; colour change )

1- Determination of child immunization status:-
•If the child had received a primary immunization activated with booster injection of toxoid .•Unimmunized child can be protected by tetanus antitoxin.
2- Adequate debridment of the wound

Ellis classificationEllis classification::Class I: crack or fracture of E only Class II: fracture of E , D with out pulp exposure Class III: fracture of E , D with pulp exposure Class IV:
Fracture line passes beneath the gingival marginClass V:
Root fracture a) vertical b) horizontal
(apical , middle , cervical)
Class IClass I: :
1 -a crack of the enamel without loss of tooth structure.Do not require immediate Do not require immediate treatmenttreatment..

Class IIClass II: :
Immediate treatment of the crown is required to:
1 )protect the pulp2 )restore the esthetics and function.
Cover the expose of the dentine by a layer of calcium hydroxide to reparative dentine formation.A- Reattachment of tooth fragment.B- Acid-etch composite resin restoration
Class IIIClass III: :
The treatment depends on The treatment depends on many factors such asmany factors such as::
1 (vitality of the exposed pulp.2 (Size of the exposure.
3 (Time elapsed since the exposure.
4 (Degree of root maturation.5 (Restorability of the fractured
crown.
The main objective of treatment The main objective of treatment is to maintain the vitality of the is to maintain the vitality of the toothtooth..

Class vClass v: : 11 ) )Horizontal Root fractureHorizontal Root fracture
When the fracture occur near the When the fracture occur near the apical 1/3, the prognosis is more apical 1/3, the prognosis is more favourable than the middle or cervical 1/3 favourable than the middle or cervical 1/3 becausebecause: :
1 (more alveolar support 2 (immobilization of the tooth is much easier
Treatment of root fracture depends upon: 1 )Condition of the pulp
2 )amount of mobility or the level of the fracture line
